Sanchez has been offered a deal worth almost £300,000 but has yet to sign it has yet to sign it and there have been reports he has informed Arsene Wenger of his desire to leave for the Etihad, report football.london.

The Arsenal boss has denied those claims, however, and insists there is still every chance Sanchez could sign a new deal in north London.

He said: “Nobody knows today if Sanchez will be in the final year of his contract next season because he can extend his contract with us before the start of the season, or during the season.”
